Considering it's the single greatest influence on Modern English, ahead even of Shakespeare, only a fool would say so.

That sums it up perfectly. The KJV is an absolute work of art on par with Jerome's Vulgate translation and has had enormous influence on the English language and culture.

In fact a Catholic edition of the KJV was just recently published showing its influence to the present day.
